I am so sorry she did this to you. Be nice to yourself, mother yourself as it should have been. Take yourself out for ice cream, for a nice walk on the shore, for whatever rocks your boat. I hope you can seal up those fault lines someday. Maybe a bit of psychic caulk? Please take care of yourself.

Yes, the re-parenting thing is important and something I am getting into. It’s why I often get silly and mischievous, which is sort of making up for lost time as it were. The discipline bit is still wanting though. I have an inner persecutorial protector who is trying very hard in that respect, with, however, some increasing success.

And of course getting it out on a page is also somewhat therapeutic.

Wow! Thank you Shoni! And you are officially the first person to have bought it! I am so very grateful and you put a big smile on my face since then! Might not sound like much to some people, selling one copy, but to me it’s wonderful. From now on I shall tell people I am proper writer. Of the eccentric lady author kind, naturally.

I hope you like it, of course…
